Erik Morales, doesn’t understand why Pacquiao would choose Spence of all people to fight

[-Kev-]

Pacquiao is old, past prime and ready to retire. There could various reasons why he chose to fight Spence of all people.

1. Haymon offered him more money to fight Spence than anyone else was offering him to fight anyone. i.e. Arum’s offer to Pacquiao for Crawford. Arum probably lowballed Pacquiao, or Crawford wanted too much of the pie without being a PPV attraction.

2. Out of all the popular names in boxing, Errol Spence is the only one around Pacquiao’s weight class with a decent PPV track record. Averaging 350k from his 3 PPV’s. Team Pacquiao probably sees him as the best dance partner around 140-154.

3. Pacquiao is old and maybe he needs a top 10 P4P, young, prime fighter who will be favored to beat him, in order to keep him serious in the gym. If he takes on another Jeff Horn type, he might take him lightly, overlook him, and lose a close points decision. Maybe he just wants to fight the best because if he wins, he ends his legacy on a very high note. And the best is what will keep him on point in the gym.

4. All of the above.

5. Pacquiao is literally just bored and we’re all looking too much into it. Maybe it’s just exciting to fight the best at 43. Politics has bored him to death and this match keeps his soul alive and brings him happiness.

wrong...

the real reason why manny picked spence is because #stopasianhate

pac is using spence as an example.

Do you really believe this bu!!shyte? Manny chose Spence because it makes him the most $$$ at or near his weight. It's just that simple..........

If it was about money he'd fight Jake Paul or McGregor

He can’t do that because he would look like a hypocrite since he already made fun of Mayweather for it.

You could correct me if I'm wrong but I feel PAC-MAN deep down feels he has something felt to prove. Beating Spence would make everybody notice that PAC is a legendary fighter. Even if people don't say it out loud. I personally think that's what PAC wants.

You's a lying MF'er.

You accused Marquez of roiding.

You said it was a lucky shot.

You said Marquez tripped him.

You said Manny was distracted.


You made all kinds of excuses when that KO happened.

Do you not understand how notorious you are around here for making excuses for Manny's losses?

Do you not understand that you are arguably - next to pasawayako - the most blatant Manny excuser on this forum?


At least pasa doesn't go off the rails with his excusing and he's tempered down in recent years. You haven't.


Before Teo/Loma, I was the loudest to say that Loma would school that man.

After the fight I was the first to say - Loma lost. Because he lost. It didn't matter HOW he lost (by not showing the hell up). The other man's hand got raised.

Horn's hand was raised against Manny.

Floyd's hand was raised against Manny.

Bradley's hand was once raised against Manny.

Keef's hand was almost raised against Manny (according to Compubox stats and the judges).


I see a pattern of stylistic behavior that Manny Pacquiao can't handle. That's what I've told you about - and you've disregarded all of the truth.


I don't see 50-50 here. Why? Spence is too damn big. Period. It's not even about age. Spence might as well be a middleweight. He's coming off a dominant victory over Danny Swift, a guy both Porter and Keef struggled with, he made easy work of.

But I also know that Spence does NOT need to knock Manny out to beat him, given that Manny barely got out against the shell of Keef Thurman. All Spence has to do is walk the #ManDown and I expect him to, as so should you if you were unbiased and paid attention to every fight where he's done that against every major threat he's fought.

I gave props to Marquez for winning that 4th bout. He clearly won it, but not the first. That wasn't a draw. The Judge made a fatal error and admitted it. it should have been a 7-10 for the 3 knock down in the first round.

Anyway, that's the thing.. Marquez who was obviously roided up for that 4th fight with Pac since we all know he had the win at all cost mentality teaming up with MEMO HEREDIA. The cheater trainer that gave Marion Joins 6 Gold medals in the olympics and was caught with PEDs in her system.

He did his job and defeated Pac in one of the best epic showdown I have ever seen in my Life. That was an incredible fight. I enjoyed every second of it. Pac lost that fight, but that fight was 2 Titans duking it out. It was beautiful too watch. Both Pac and Marquez dropping. Marquez bloodied and almost beaten, went for a hail Mary shot at the very end of the round and got the KO. That wasn't a lucky shot. That was a timed shot he was anticipating to happen. That was beautiful.

Now, regarding Floyd, he had everything, the height, the IVs that USADA caught him using that they shrugged off, He was amped for the fight, and was the bigger man against Pac. What does he do? He ran and clinched profusely over a 12 round fight to the dismay of the boxing world.. That's not how to win a super fight. He was intentionally clinching Pac the whole night. That's not how to win a fight. Boxing is about throwing punches. Intentional Clinching is foul in boxing under the Queensberry Rules, but since he owns Vegas. He's the goose that lays the Golden egg. Those corrupt judges, Kenny Bayless Floyd's favorite ref, and even the compubox was all rigged to give Floyd the illusion of a win.. When we all know..

He was amped up with IVs which is already suppose to be a DQ in boxing.. And what does he do? He ran and hugged for dear life in the course of 12 rounds over an injured Asian fighter with a torn rotator cuff.

Is that a clash of the Titans as I have described the Pac Marquez fight that Pac lost to.. Nope.. That was so bad that those potential casuals that could have been converted to boxing.. dissolved because what they saw was a hugfest that was just spoiling the epic showdown that was suppose to be building up to an epic showdown that night.. It was so sick to watch a grown ass man clinching profusely over a small man.. That was lame cowardly FOUL tactics, that ain't worthy of a win.

And the irony of it all.. Since Floyd loves Clinching, as in the case when he clinched overly as well with Maidana. In my book, Floyd lost to Maidana and Pac.. The irony is, Floyd's style of clinching was done to him by an 0-1 fighter in Logan Paul. How poetic is that.


Anyway, I repeat again. If Pac wins decisively against Spence will you give him props?

You can bookmark this page. I will give props to Spence if he wins. Hope that's clear enough for you. Now I ask you. Will you give Pac props if he wins?

[Combat Talk Radio]

You again are accusing Marquez of roiding, with no evidence. That's not giving credit, that's an excuse.

You will make an excuse after Spence wins.

We all know how you operate, bro.

I already used Teo/Loma as an example of how I give credit for whoever gets their hand raised, NO MATTER WHY their hand gets raised.

That's what you don't do, and that's the problem.

Dude,


I'll make it clear for you. Even if there's taint that Marquez roided that night.

MARQUEZ STILL WON THAT FIGHT VS PAC. YOU CAN SCREEN SHOT THIS. YOU CAN EVEN FRAME IT ON YOUR BEDROOM WALL.

I GIVE PROPS TO MARQUEZ FOR WINNING THE 4TH FIGHT.

I HOPE THIS IS CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU.



NOW FOR THE NTH TIME. YOU HAVE BEEN DUCKING MY QUESTION.

ARE YOU GIVING PAC PROPS IF PAC DEFEATS SPENCE?
